Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead-Chapter 1138 - 742

Chapter 1138: Chapter 742

Chapter 1138 -742

“Can you speak?” Fang Hao asked subconsciously.

The language of the undead was not a sound emitted by the flesh.

Instead, it was akin to a transmission of information, directly to the recipient’s brain.

Thus, the soul was a crucial key for the undead to convey information.

“Yes, my lord,” the Skeleton Warrior responded respectfully.

“Is it because of this lantern?” Fang Hao lifted the lantern he was holding.

The crimson flame within the lantern was still vigorous.

Aside from the color, it looked no different from a normal flame.

“Yes, my lord,” the Skeleton Warrior answered.

It sounded like a repetition of his earlier words.

“Tell me why?” Fang Hao asked in a different manner.

“The Flame of Faith provides us with a basic soul, enabling us to understand your commands,” the Skeleton Warrior stood still and answered.

“What use is it? What can you all do?”

“The basic soul allows us to better execute your commands, though our abilities are still limited to this body’s strength,” the Skeleton Warrior continued.

Fang Hao still not satisfied, conversed for a while and conducted some simple experiments.

He somewhat understood the role of this soul given by the Flame of Faith.

Simply put, it provided these soulless troop types with a false soul.

Why it was considered false,

was because it gave the impression of repetitive speech and still rigid behavior.

Take for example, the Skeleton Warrior.

They still acted according to their inherent attributes.

They could not learn new knowledge like a normal soul, nor could they complete complex technical tasks.

It was more like a program had been upgraded, but not to the level of intelligence.

Accompanied by Demitrija, Fang Hao continued to inspect some troops.

Aside from the Skeleton Warrior, other troop types like the Skeleton Archer, Undead Mage, and even the Bone Dragon had acquired souls.

Having acquired souls, they could better understand the commands issued.

When commanded not to damage the flower beds around, the Bone Dragon would carefully land, avoiding them.

This made them more convenient and easy to control than before.

After confirming that these troops were not dangerous,

everyone dispersed to attend to their work.

Fang Hao returned to the Lord’s Manor, and hung the “Flame of Faith” lantern next to the bronze crane stand by the throne.

The flame was still vigorous and gave off no smoke or smell.

He wondered if this item was truly worth the Dark Gold rating.

It was alright for him since he utilized it.

But for another transmigrator, receiving this item would have been useless.

…

Sitting on the throne,

he did not immediately check the second reward.

Instead, he opened the Book of Lords and sent a private message to Dong Jiayue.

“Do you still have Skeleton troops in your territory?”

Dong Jiayue quickly replied, “Oh, Brother Hao, you’re back! They were all saying you went to invite a female giant to eat enoki mushrooms.”

“What enoki mushrooms, that’s nonsense! By the way, any changes with the Skeleton troops over there?” Fang Hao continued.

He wanted to determine the range of the Flame of Faith.

Whether it was only in his territory or all his Skeleton troops had changed.

After a short while, Dong Jiayue replied, “I have 5 Skeleton Trolls left and over 200 Skeleton Soldiers; is there an issue?”

Fang Hao had left her substantial forces; it seemed there wasn’t much left.

“No, haven’t they changed at all? Like, their eyes, or can they speak?” Fang Hao asked directly.

“No eyes, and they can’t speak,” Dong Jiayue replied.

Ah, it seemed the range of the Flame of Faith was limited.

It’s very likely only covered the main city area, unable to extend further.

“Okay, I understand. Be sure to strengthen your defenses, I’ll arrange some troops to be transferred to you tomorrow,” Fang Hao continued.

“Okay, thanks Brother Hao, I’m tallying up the spoils of war here, will send over the good stuff later.”

Fang Hao did not refuse, “Okay.”

After ending the chat with Dong Jiayue, Fang Hao continued to send messages to Zhang Bin, Ma Tianyi, and others.

He inquired about the city’s situation and personnel losses.

He also asked about the Skeleton Soldiers.

Their responses were the same as Dong Jiayue’s.

The Skeleton troop type showed no changes, still the ordinary, unconscious Skeletons.

No occurrence of the Soul Fire.

…

After finishing the chats,

Fang Hao casually looked at the territory channel.

People were still discussing the recent mission and how to utilize the spoils of war.

After all, the equipment and weapons of a giant couldn’t be used.

Glancing briefly, he closed the Book of Lords.

Fang Hao proceeded to check the second reward.

A blueprint of his faction.

[Underworld Shrine (Orange): Hard Ironwood 3200, Ironized Wood 2500, Fine Stone Brick 2800, Precision Stone Brick 1800, Cast Iron Block 850, Fine Iron 150, Mithril 12, Metal Parts 550, Precision Parts 180, Shadow Essence 22, Death Trace 5.]

(Description: A shrine controlled by the Corpse Witch, often used as a place for Corpse Witch Priests to discuss and research.)

A building related to the Corpse Witch?

Visit ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com for the 𝑏est n𝘰vel reading experience.

The Corpse Witch held a high position within the undead faction.

Not because of their combat strength, but because critical undead technologies were in the hands of these Corpse Witch and Royal Funeral Priests.

Amanda had once tried to persuade Nelson to stay in the Supreme Saint Golden City, unfortunately, Fang Hao had disagreed.

Anyway, a building related to the Corpse Witch generally had a significant function.

Using the Book of Lords, he recorded the blueprint.

He stood up and walked out of the Lord’s Manor.

Heading straight to the undead section, not far from the Viscera Museum, Fang Hao chose a spot and initiated construction.

A vast radiance gradually formed the outline of the structure.

From the light, it slowly became real.

He confirmed the countdown.

It needed about two hours.

Fang Hao didn’t plan to wait here, directly activated a teleportation screen, and vanished from the spot.

…

When he opened his eyes again, he was already aboard the “Sea City” colossal ship.

The howling sea wind and the constant swinging of the ship due to its forward movement surrounded him.

In the dark environment, torches were lit along the deck.

It was a sight of brightness.

At a glance, one could see the busy Skeleton craftsmen.

“Lord!”

“Lord!”

“Lord.”

No sooner had he appeared than the surrounding Skeleton craftsmen greeted him.

Fang Hao smiled and nodded, saying, “Yes, the main city’s task is done. Team leaders of all crafts, count your numbers; we’ll be heading back soon.”

“Yes, Lord.” The craftsmen nodded in response.

For these Skeleton craftsmen, who had no particular interests or hobbies, coming here was just a change of workplace.

Over the day, the ship underwent several refurbishments.

The rudder was covered with leather, the hull reinforced with metal, and the mast railings were also fortified with a new layer of steel and leather.

It was a case of seeing something that needed doing and doing it; they couldn’t just sit idle.

“Where are Eira and the others?” Fang Hao asked a Skeleton craftsman.

The craftsman replied, “Miss Eira and the others should be resting in the cabin.”

Fang Hao nodded and made his way down the stairs.

As he descended a level, he saw the brightly lit interior of the cabin, filled with all the maids.

Some were playing chess, others chatting.

It seemed like they were all resting.

Hearing someone coming down the stairs,

they all looked up in unison.

Upon seeing it was Fang Hao, everyone’s face brightened.

“Master~!”

With a rush, they crowded around him.

They surrounded him in layers inside and out.

“Alright, get ready; we’re going back!” Fang Hao ruffled a few heads closest to him.

At that moment, Eira and Little White came from behind.

Eira asked, “Master, is everything done in the main city?”

Mention of the main city reminded Fang Hao of the utterly changed city.

“Ah, it’s done. How was your day?” he continued to ask.

The maids smiled somewhat stiffly and said, “Very nice.”

They had clearly had their fill of play.

On the ship, there wasn’t much to do, and their movement was restricted.

Fishing, enjoying the sea breeze—once tired, it just felt uninteresting.

“Alright, let’s prepare and head to the deck; we’re going back,” Fang Hao called out.

The women began to move, gathering their belongings.

A few maids who had caught some fish ran up to the deck.

Fang Hao didn’t delay.

He released the Gate of the Worlds, allowing everyone to pass through.

Then, he too stepped into the light screen.

They returned from the Troop Hiding Cave.

The maids and craftsmen stood there dumbfounded.

Where is this?

Where had the city of their memories gone? What was this battle-scarred scene all about?

When Fang Hao stepped out of the light screen,

he explained to everyone that the main city had gone through a battle; although some buildings were damaged, there had been significant gains.

The damaged parts of the city would be slowly repaired.

After the explanation, the maids went to check their quarters; if the rooms were uninhabitable, Fang Hao would arrange new accommodations for them.

…

After the maids had left,

Fang Hao continued towards the new building.

After waiting about ten minutes, as the light faded, the building appeared before him.

[Underworld Shrine]

[Category: Special Building]

[Capacity: 0/200]

(Description: Controlled by The Corpse Witch Priest, this shrine serves as a hub of discussion and research for the Priest, where one can study the “Royal Funeral”.)

A place to train The Corpse Witch.

Unlike regular barracks, where troops are recruited, the witch here needs to be trained, not just enlisted.

Selecting some individuals, then learning, and finally the training of The Corpse Witch.

It’s essentially a school for The Corpse Witch.

Fang Hao tried placing 200 funeral priests inside.

Funeral priests could be recruited, available in abundance.

But the system prompt was unsuccessful.

[Cannot place recruited troop type.]

Ah, this…

They would need indigenous people or those who had been converted.

Here at Fang Hao’s, besides the recruited troop types, only the maids were left.

Now, the maids are of high ranks, seven or eight, even nine, soon to become heroes. Making them become The Corpse Witch, becoming the next Nelson.

Probably no one would be willing.

Fang Hao couldn’t bear it either.

But there was not no solution; if there was nobody on his side, Amanda’s side was a nation of the Undead.

Getting her to arrange for people to study there would not only solve the training issue of The Corpse Witch but also distract her from courting Nelson.

Even, perhaps, increase Amanda’s Loyalty a bit more.

…

Returning to the Lord’s Mansion.

Anjia, Rolana, and Amanda had gone directly to the amusement park construction site and were not in the hall.

Eira thoughtfully prepared some supper.

While eating, Fang Hao suddenly remembered the ‘Divine Fragment’ he had obtained in the Temple and immediately checked it out.

[Ability to devour Divine Fragment, do you wish to devour?]

Devour.

The crystalline Divine Fragment transformed into a powerful energy, directly entering his soul.

At the same time, he could distinctly feel an energy merging into his divinity,

becoming a part of his thunder divinity.

[Successfully integrated ‘Divine Fragment’, your Power of Faith has improved.]

[Unlocked traits: Immune to Flame, Spirit of Flame.]

…

[Flame Resistance]: Immune to effects of flame elements.

[Spirit of Flame]: Fire-type Skills, additional effects +20%.
